Timing light question. #1 or #6?

[phoenix6]

I was reading TSRM and glanced at one of the HINTS that said connect the timing light to tension cord #6. I always thought it was #1, I knwo both fire at the same time but does it matter? What does everyone else do?

Also after I set it to 10* can I remove the paper clip from the DIAG box and set it up to 14* or do I turn it up to 14* WHILE its still in?

Trying to get answers quick b4 I go up to work to time it.

Use either. #6 is obviously alot easier to get to with the cover on.

Waste-fire FTW (in this case anyways...)

If you have a fussy timing light you might get a better signal on #1 as the Cylinder pressures are higher so this = more spark energy/bigger zap.

we used 1, I have a busted blade on my fan so I think this is why, but when I adjusted it b4 I tightened it it was idling at 11 - 14* but I set it at 14*

So get this, this is the best part, what it was set to once I paperclipped the ECU and set the light to see where she was at..... OVER 20!! Thats all I can figure when it was so far away from 15 hahahaha Runs so much better now
